You're not going to find any the quality of the Griots...  It's your paint, you paid a lot for it, buy what you like, but...just saying...   :nixweiss:

If I can't recommend Griot's to you, I've got nothin'. :nixweiss:  How much is too much?  Better start using some cheap-ass oil, low octane fuel, and Nu Finish wax on your CVO.  :2vrolijk_21:

I get mine at Costco, yellow, nice and thick and last forever.  When I wash them I wash them on the Sanitize cycle in our washing machine.

I am going to Costco today, I will see what brand they are as I haven't bought any for a long time.

Is that where the expression, "Penny wise and dollar foolish" applies?

Target sells two levels of microfiber towels in their automotive section. I buy the nicer ones, use them once on the bikes then wash them and use them for other chores. Reasonably priced.

I've got Microfiber towels of one sort of the other from all over the place, but once I discovered the Griot's Garage microfiber, there's no going back.  The Blue and the Green ones are the thickest/softest...the Green are intended to be used with their Spray Wash and the Blue with their Speed Shine, but either work fine to remove Glare.  There ain't nothing else like them that I've ever found.

In fact, there's a lot of good chit from Griot's Garage...their cleaners, washes, vinyl/rubber treatments, thumb operated hose nozzle...hell, I've even got their special wash bucket!  I's a sickness... ;)

Yep, found that out today when I looked at them, now labeled Kirkland.  They are definitely not the same ones they carried before rebranded, they are different.  They had a package open for display, they were reasonable thick and seemed ok.  It was like $30 for the pack.

I bought a pack, will see how they work out.

Autogeek.net best selection of micro fiber anywhere, They have a huge selection and a lot of free shipping dates. Give them a call or check online. If you watch the TV car shows you have probably seen Max the owner, just did not realize he was the Autogeek guy. Girot has nothing on Max.

they work good just watch the big label attached to one of the corners. It's huge and may scratch the paint. I tried pulling one off and it frayed pretty badly. I liked the brighter yellow ones they had before better. These are bigger and thicker
